What You'll Create

Blockbuster-scale VFX in a single clip — a massive alien monster with dark red chitinous claws tears through a row of historic townhouses while your character, glowing in cyan armor, stands alone in the street below. Huge scale contrast and dust-filled golden light make this feel like a real movie still.

Monster Invasion — final generated look
Generated with Seedance 2 Mini using the prompt below. Results vary slightly between runs — regenerate once or twice for the best take.

1

Prepare Your Reference Photo

A clear photo is the foundation this whole generation is built on

1

Choose a clear, well-lit photo of yourself (or whoever's appearing in the clip). Front-facing works best — avoid sunglasses or heavy shadows.

2

Turn it into a multi-angle reference sheet using GPT Image 2 — four angles plus a face close-up on a plain background, exactly like the one below. This is the same method used to build the reference sheet for this generation.

3

Open Dreamina AI and start a new Seedance 2 Mini image-to-video generation.

4

Upload your reference sheet as the reference / character image.

Pro tip: Run it twice if the first result feels a little generic — Seedance 2 Mini varies between takes, and the second or third generation is often the strongest.

📋 Prompt
A massive terrifying alien monster with glistening dark red chitinous armor and huge curved claws bursts through a row of historic European stone townhouses, rubble and dust exploding outward in slow motion. In the street below, a lone glowing cyan-armored hero figure stands defiant with a weapon raised, small against the towering creature. Dramatic golden hour sunbeams cut through the dust clouds, strong depth and scale contrast between the tiny hero and the giant monster. Rich cinematic color grading with deep shadows and warm highlights, sharp focus throughout, extremely detailed professional VFX composition, epic wide-angle low camera angle for maximum drama. Atmosphere: distant screams, rumbling monster growl, falling debris, tense orchestral strings building.
🎬

Keep the hero in the lower third of the frame and small relative to the monster — the scale contrast is what makes this read as blockbuster VFX rather than a generic fight scene.

No editing needed — what you get is the final clip

Posting tip: Try the hook "I made a Hollywood monster movie with AI in one prompt" or "This VFX shot took 2 minutes, not 2 months" for maximum engagement.
